In a rare mask off moment, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said that the German government would continue supporting Ukraine “no matter what German voters think.”
Baerbock uttered those remarks during an event that NGO Forum 2000 organized in Prague on August 31, 2022.
“If I give the promise to people in Ukraine – ‘We stand with you, as long as you need us’ – then I want to deliver. No matter what my German voters think, but I want to deliver to the people of Ukraine,” she stated.
Baerbock said that she would not change course even if large numbers of Germans took to the streets and started protesting against soaring energy costs. The sanctions war the Collective West has waged against Russia has been an own goal of epic proportions. Combine that with the EU’s destructive energy policies that have deprived the region of reliable energy sources, and you have all the makings of an economic calamity of gargantuan proportions
